Ever wanted to be a maritime archaeologist? ⚓️ Wondered how we find a shipwreck in vast, deep waters? 🌊 Or pondered on the details of how we record underwater? Here is your chance! 🧜🏽‍♀️ Heritage Victoria is running and AIMA/NAS part 1 course - 8/9 September 2018, Melbourne. This course will provide a general introduction to maritime archaeology, focusing on aspects such as: - Archaeological principles - Archaeological sciences - Materials and conservation - Ship construction/ship's lines - Archaeological Recording - Search techniques - Site position-fixing - Remote sensing - State/Territory and Commonwealth legislation We are lucky enough to have gained the support of the C. Blunt Boatyard. Since their arrival in Victoria in 1858, five generations of boat builders from the Blunt family have constructed boats in Melbourne. From 1926 the C. Blunt Boatyard has continually operated at Williamstown. Get in contact with me if you’re interested! maddy.mcallister@delwp.vic.gov.au
